My Students
My new third grade students attend an inner city charter school. The school is small and feels like a family. We are going through many changes and working hard to meet our goals.
The third grade students are kind, willing to learn, and open to change. They want to soak up knowledge and new experiences. By the time they walk into school, they have overcome the struggles of poverty, broken homes, and homelessness. Our charter school strives to meet all needs of our learners. We are a small school with big futures.
My Project
These books will allow my students to master the standards in ways that are engaging and relevant. The books will cover may genres and authors. The books will introduce us to many new authors.
We need books that we can relate to! By adding these books to our classroom library we will be able to read fiction. non-fiction, poetry, tall tales and biographies, We will use them to improve our comprehension and grammar skills.
These amazing books will improve our reading levels and our understanding of so many genres. We will also become better writers by doing related activities.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
